Sailing SV Bully - Ep. 3: We almost sailed through a TORPEDO RANGE!

We're a family of 7, living life aboard our 1983 Vagabond 47.
She was designed by the famous naval architect William Garden, and built in the notorious Taiwanese shipyards of the 70s and 80s. She weighs over 40,000 pounds, and pushes through rough seas like a bully... but that's not why we named her Bully.

Actually, "Bully" is an archaic term used often in old sea shanties, and has a variety of meanings.

Dating back to the 1800s, not only can Bully refer to a sailor who has had a bit too much rum (Bully in the Alley), but it was also used as an adjective -- a term of endearment and fondness towards those you'd find dashing, jovial, and high-spirited (Bully Boys)!
​
So, who better to sail our Bully Crew around, than SV Bully?
